African Bat Stamp

Last 2001 (I'm so irritated I don't know the exact date), the post office of South Africa released 10 bats stamps featuring endemic bats of Africa. Unfortunately for me (which happens almost every time) got only 1 out of the 10 stamps. But I'm still glad I got a mint one.

The stamps that I have portraits a cape horseshoe bat. According to my google 'research', these little things can be found along the coastlines of Southern Africa. They live in caves near the coasts. It is endemic in South Africa. It has been called a horseshoe bat because of the marking around its nose similar to a horseshoe.

I feel so smart when I wrote this blog. lol.

The Beatles

On January 9, 2007, the Royal Mail of UK commemorated the cultural contribution to the music industry by The Beatles, with a set of 6 stamps showing album covers and a miniature sheet of 4 other stamps showing Beatles memorabilia.

The stamps and miniature sheet were designed by Johnson Banks using photography by Kevin Summers, and are printed by Walsall Security Printers. The normal sheet stamps are a maximum of 35 x 33mm and are self-adhesive in gravure. Each value is printed in sheets of 30 stamps, 2 of each design. Also available are double-pane sheets of 60. The stamps would be regarded as se-tenant, except that they are not attached one to another!

The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. They became the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed act in the rock music era. The group's best-known lineup consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.

Such a shame I got only 2 out of the six stamps! And I dont even remember how I got them. If you still extras of the other 4 stamps please dont hesitate to tell me. I would be very glad to have them.

Elvis Presley Stamp

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) is one of the world's most celebrated singer and actor. He was known as the 'King of Rock and Roll' or simply 'The King'.

There is nothing much I know about this guy as I wasn't born during his time. But Im lucky to have this Elvis Presly stamp from Mongolia. I dont exactly remember how I got this since I have not requested for it and I dont even remember who sent it. It probably got mixed up during my trade by lots but Im still thankful I have one.

This is the only Presley stamp I have and I dont have much info about this stamp like when it was released or printed. If you do have it please let me know!

Since I am not a fan of this guy maybe keeping just one Presley stamps is enough.
